Could this be from overheating? I'm not sure. If those Read-Failure are error counts, than yes, I think so. The drive is currently OK, but when it had a lot of activity it overheated and started getting read errors. > Would letting it cool off fix > things, or should I call in for warranty? > Array creation creates a lot of activity for the drives, and it could cause them to overheat. Or cause energy flutuation if the PSU isn't powerfull enough, but I'd expect PSU problems when booting, not when writing/reading. I have an older system where I have to keep DMA disabled for my drives or the system locks when cron starts updatedb or someone copies a large file, thus my suspicion that your drives are also overheating. About calling in for the warranty, I'd first try hddtemp (http://www.guzu.net/linux/hddtemp.php) and if the temperature does rise, then some more fans. :) -- lfr 0/0
